Hi Everyone,
We recently found out that my sister's clinical trial expenses will NOT be covered under our Ontario Health plan, nor my brother-in-law's private insurance. The cost of their first visit last Wed. was 10 thousand US. In our attempts to look into some financial support, I came accross a name and phone number of an organization that pays for travel expenses within the US and I thought I would share this with any of you who must travel for clinical trials. The name of the organization is The National Patient Travel Help Line and the contact person is Steve Patterson 757-318-9174.
There is a similar organization in Canada called HOPE AIR (
www.hopeair.org)..unfortunately they, too, only cover travel within Canada.
Happy Healing,
Celina
